On this episode, Bill sits down with Chuck and Debbie Brown from Decal Connection. Chuck and Debbie have been long-time supporters of the rod building community, providing high-quality custom decals for rod builders. They purchased the business in 2005 and have since transitioned from water-slide to peel-and-stick decals, which offer faster application and better durability.
Decal Connection can produce custom decals in a variety of sizes, colors, and designs to fit rod builders' needs. They emphasize the importance of proper surface preparation, such as applying a coat of finish, to ensure the decals adhere properly. They also provide guidance on sizing logos and artwork to work well on the small surface area of a rod.
The Browns are happy to work with customers, even those trying to print their own decals, to help them achieve the best results. They caution against using copyrighted artwork without permission. Overall, Decal Connection is praised for their expertise, customer service, and commitment to supporting the rod building community.
